Ah, got it. It appears sbcl's asdf-install can't install parenscript
globally for some reason. After installing it locally, (ps:ps ...)
works fine.

Thanks for the quick cheat sheet :)

I haven't yet decided whether I'm using parenscript or clojure or even
a lisp at all. My goal is generating readable and editable code, and
so far a lisp looks like the best choice. It also has to run on
Android easily.

But if I do use a lisp, thanks for the reference!
